The statement of the Patriarchate circulated Thursday says that theGeorgian Church 'considers it impossible to create a religiousorganization for popularization of Catholicism in secondary schools'.

'Such actions arouse justified public dissatisfaction and crippletraditional relations with the Catholic Church', the statement reads.

Georgian mass media has reported earlier this week that the RomanCatholic Church assigned over five million dollars for carrying out'We Build the Future' program in Georgia intended to set up youthreligious clubs in schools.
